Everyone experiences some difficulties with assignments periodically. At Wharton County
Junior College, we offer tutoring services face-to-face in the Learning Assistance Centers and online.

Tutors can help you in many ways, including refining your writing assignments, improving
your reading comprehension, understanding and solving math problems or, in some cases,
explaining content-related concepts. Additionally, the tutors in the Learning Assistance
Centers may be able assist you in locating online resources to support what you are
learning in class.

Tutors cannot: do your work for you; assist your with a take-home test (although they
can help you solve similar problems/questions); or guarantee that you will make a
better grade on an assignment. You are responsible for your own learning.

To make the most of your tutoring visit:

Visit early in the semester, as soon as you start having problems. If you get too
far behind, you may not be able to catch up.

Do your prep work and come prepared. Read your text; do as much of the homework assignment as you can and mark items with
which you need help; write down questions for the tutor; make sure you have a copy
of the original assignment to which the tutor can refer; and have your class notes
and/or syllabus with you.

Arrive in plenty of time to receive help. Do not expect a tutor to proofread your
assignment right before it's due. You will need to allow time for the tutor to locate
errors and/or suggest improvements, and you will need to have time to make the necessary
corrections.

Do not arrive at the tutoring center just before it closes. Check the WCJC website
for the Learning Assistance Center's hours of operation. If you cannot utilize the face-to-face tutoring services, check
out Smarthinking through your WCJC Online Services.

Please feel free to contact Natalie Stavinoha, WCJC Retention Coordinator, at 979-532-6964
or natalies@wcjc.eduif you have questions or need further assistance.
